Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Yuki Soma needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ko Itakura made 275 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 25' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Jewison Bennette has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Anthony Contreras suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 42' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Contreras on 42.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Miki Yamane gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takuma Asano is hanging Ayase Ueda on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Costa Rica seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 56' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 61' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Celso Borges.
  • 62' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Japan. Miki Yamane is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Gerson Torres as he departs to be replaced by Brandon Aguilera.
  • 67' - The supporters are chanting for Junya Ito. He replaces Ritsu Doan on 67 minute.
  • 70' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 70.
  • 71' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 71.
  • 76' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 81' - Goal! Keysher Fuller scores his 1 goal in 7 matches.
  • 82' - Another change for Japan made on 82 minute. Yuki Soma leaves to be changed by Takumi Minamino.
